Hi -
We want to migrate our aging oVirt cluster to a new one and decided to go
for the hyperconverged setup with Gluster and hosted engine. Got 3 new
machines, set everything up, did a test VM migration and were almost ready
to do final migration of our VMs when I notice one really weird thing.
When migrating VMs from NFS storage onto Gluster they stay thin
provisioned. But if I try creating new disk image from the oVirt GUI - I
get preallocated volume. No matter if I select "thin provision" or
"Preallocated" I always get preallocated volume created.
The engine.log says -
2019-05-07 17:14:20,562-04 INFO

Is there any tweak I didn't notice to make things actually what it suppose
to be doing?
oVirt 4.3.3.5-1.el7
glusterfs 5.5-1.el7
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810
Thank you!
